You can brighten the holiday season for some less fortunate folks by purchasing a gift or two.

Every year, Phinney Neighborhood Association coordinates a giving tree program. Several locations around the neighborhood host trees, and the PNA distributes the gifts to recipient organizations, who then pass them along to their clients.

This year, gifts will go to children and adults in need who are affiliated with the following organizations: Broadview Emergency Shelter & Transitional Housing, Cate Apartments, Childhaven, Dorothy Day House, Eagle Staff Middle School, FamilyWorks, PNA Hot Meal Program, New Beginnings and Whitman Middle School.

You can pick up tags at these locations:

• The Phinney Center, 6532 Phinney Ave N
• Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N. 85th
• The Phinery, 6500 Phinney Ave N
• The Phinney Ridge branch of Umpqua Bank, 7120 Greenwood Ave N.
• Whittier Kids, 1320 NW 75th Street

Gifts are due back to the location where you got the tag(s) by either December 8 or 11.

Thank you for your generosity!
